Title: "Stay still! Shut up!" Post by: Shockeye on August 30, 2005, 09:13:19 AM Quote from: AFP Adamant Japanese surgeon punches unhappy patient during operation (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050830/od_afp/japanhealthoffbeat_050830150109;_ylt=AnAjNciaOTsOz4yDwPzFKuGs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3NW1oMDRpBHNlYwM3NTc-) 1 hour, 8 minutes ago TOKYO (AFP) - A Japanese doctor punched a patient during surgery and told him to "shut up" after the patient on local anesthesia asked for the operation to stop, a news report said. The patient at the national Shiga Hospital wiggled during the surgery and yelled "please stop the operation," Kyodo News said. The doctor then punched the patient's forehead and said: "Stay still! Shut up!" The operation was stopped. The physician and a hospital executive later visited the patient to apologize, Kyodo said. The doctor didn't speed up the patient's recovery. The report said the patient needed five days for his forehead to heal. The original operation was conducted -- by another doctor -- three weeks after the punching incident on August 1.

Wouldn't the punch have to be diluted to the point where it no longer makes contact? Title: Re: "Stay still! Shut up!"

Bear with me. Title: Re: "Stay still! Shut up!" Post by: voodoolily on August 30, 2005, 10:36:29 AM No, Shockeye was talking about Reike (which was proved to be a crock of shit by a published study conducted by a 12-year-old girl). It's not you, Nebu.
